I'm ready to pull the trigger on buying an X-T1, but because it has been on the market for nearly 2 years, I'm concerned that Fuji may be on the verge of releasing an X-T2. Does anyone have any information as to when an updated version might be announced? Thanks.

For what a rumor is worth....and since this is the forum of a rumor’s site after all.

 

See the buttons on top of each page? The last one says Fuji X rumors. If you press that one and then on the page which opens in the search box you type X-T2 what you get is this:

 

http://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-x-t2-coming-pretty-soon-after-the-fujfilm-x-pro2-source-right-in-the-past/

 

 

How reliable the source and how realistic the rumor I don’t know.

 

They will replace the X-Pro-1 sooner rather than later, of course they will have to introduce something new for the Photokina 2016 , which is still one year away.

 

Introducing the X-T2 in 2015 would take some wind off the sails of the X-T10. If I were them I would introduce the X-Pro-2 in 2015 and then wait for the Photokina to introduce the X-T2.

 

What the exact nature of the improvements on these two cameras will be depends much of the sensor which is available to Fuji.

 

In all honesty, having a 24Mp sensor leaving the rest pretty much the same wouldn’t make me buy another camera.

 

If I were you I’d buy a X-T10 and wait for the bigger brother to show up. Life is too short to keep on waiting.

I wonder what the chances are of a new X-T1 (X-T2) 24MP being announced and available for sale by August 2016.

 

I'm headed to Alaska for two weeks to cover a wedding and do some additional stock/landscape work since I'm already there at the expense of the Bride and Groom.   Even though I really don't need the extra MP it would be nice insurance to have to future-proof my stock images sales.

 

Anyone?  Any thoughts?

If you are worried then you should just buy the xt-10. However I am personally content with both my xt-1 and xt-10 for my purposes and I wouldnt mind buying them at any point of time.

 

Another idea is you could buy a pre-owned xt-1 ...

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
